  1. .The figure below is a force vs. displacement graph, showing the amount of force applied to an
    object by three different people. Al applies force to the object for the first 4 m of its displacement,
    Betty applies force from the 4 m point to the 6 m point, and Chuck applies force from the 6 m point
    to the 8 m point. Which of the three does the most work on the object?


(A)Al
(B)Betty
(C)Chuck
(D)Al and Chuck do the same amount of work
(E)Betty and Chuck do the same amount of work


  1. .When a car’s speed doubles, what happens to its kinetic energy?
    (A)It is quartered
    (B)It is halved
    (C)It is unchanged
    (D)It is doubled
    (E)It is quadrupled

  2. .A worker does 500 J of work on a 10 kg box. If the box transfers 375 J of heat to the floor through
    the friction between the box and the floor, what is the velocity of the box after the work has been
    done on it?
    (A)5 m/s
    (B)10 m/s
    (C)12.5 m/s
    (D)50 m/s
    (E)100 m/s

  3. .A person on the street wants to throw an 8 kg book up to a person leaning out of a window 5 m
    above street level. With what velocity must the person throw the book so that it reaches the person
    in the window?
    (A)5 m/s
    (B)8 m/s
    (C)10 m/s
    (D)40 m/s
    (E)50 m/s
